Old Thread: >>6742512

World of Tanks is a Tank MMO in "Closed" Beta (over one million registration worldwide can hardly make it closed). Battles are 15 vs 15.

The /jp/ channel in game is called "/jp/ (Mew)", 10-30 people are usually in it and will answer any questions.

PanzerMoe is all about tanking it easy, enjoying your tanks and having fun with other /jp/ers.

If you're impatient about Beta codes, check with Mmohut or ShatteredCrystal or Alienware for keys, they give them out.

When the soft wipe will occur, you will lose all of your tanks and crews. In return you will receive all the experience you have earned as free experience in addition to full value for all of your tanks.

When is the soft wipe?

[Mayhem No.]

>>6756031
It will come along the servers split (EU/US). Some say it will happen in January or February but nothing is sure.
I just added this information because we are often asked what happens with a soft wipe.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6756031

Dunno. The speculation was originally December, now I think it's February, some people are saying it isn't happening- your guess is as good as mine.

It will probably have something to do with the US/EU server split.

e/

Needed exp for the Maus: 691 135
IS-7: 708 200
T30: 728 270
Total for the three of them: 2 127 605
My total exp: 2 255 408

This soft wipe cannot come any sooner.

[Anonymous No.]

What's the difference between exp and credits when it comes to what they're awarded for?
Played 2 particular games today with my Su-8, both got me between 1400-1500 exp - but for one I got awarded ~34k credits and the other ~55k.
The only thing that comes to mind is as the lower one got me Top Gun and the higher one Confederate, it might be due to amount of pure damage - since I had to deal more damage to get the same amount of exp if I got less kills. But the difference seems too big for only that.
Anyone got an idea?

[Mayhem No.]

>>6756185
The more damages you deal, the more credits you get.
You usually notice it when you get a much more powerful gun on the same tank.
Picture kinda related.

[(☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞ BOOF ☜(ﾟヮﾟ☜) !AWEsomEEEE!!R/52MaMCG2y No.]

>>6756082
Those numbers have changed.

Looks like they added ~50K exp to the higher tanks since the last time I saw those charts about a month ago. What the fuck is going on? I haven't noticed any jump in XP required for tanks.

I swear to god, back when the wipe was supposed to happen I crunched all the numbers and followed this list. I came up with the IS-7 at around 650K and the S-51 was ~140K

Although the guess on T9 med''s at ~400K was close enough.

Regardless, It shouldn't be a problem.

I just played the worst fucking game ever on that map. I hate playing on it so I usually just drive straight down the side, but this time I managed to get all the way to the bridge before I died. I told my team that it was blocked with all the enemies trapped on the other side, but instead of capping they all drove right towards the river and died. I tried to explain that the enemies couldn't see them if they parked on the far side of the circle, but the only responses I got were in german and spanish.

[Saegrimr !SHIELDM.mE No.]

Also for amusement, my JgPz4.

I like to imagine it was because I was hauling so much ass my tank flipped up, and not because of poor collision detection with the environment.

[(☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞ BOOF ☜(ﾟヮﾟ☜) !AWEsomEEEE!!R/52MaMCG2y No.]

I'm lost.

Russian
Pros:
-1850dmg with HE
-Only branch with AP rounds (~250 pen/1,850dmg with AP)
-T6 gets same gun as T7, more firepower sooner in tree.
-Best gun available the second you get a T7 if you get the 203 at T6
-Highest rate of fire
Cons:
-Best gun at T6, no improvement at T7
-Less HE damage then GW tiger
-AP round cost gold

The 212 (SU-14 and S-51 as well because they share the same gun) will do more damage then the GW tiger if it is using AP rounds. A direct hit with a round that can deliver ~1,800dmg ~250mm into the target will do more then a round with ~2,000dmg penetrating ~100mm.

In my opinion, the T8 Russian SPG will have a gun that will dwarf other T8 SPG's to make up for T6 and T7 sharing a gun. Historically speaking russian arty had higher calibers then german arty. Then again, if the GW tiger has a gun that is decades better then the T6 gun, the T8 gun could have just as much more power.

We won't know until they come. The US T8 may be a major threat with the 240mm gun it had.

Here's a Koalitsija-SV.

>-AP round cost gold
This is only true for the 152mm.
The AP round on the 203 costs credits.

[Anonymous No.]

203mm AP do not cost gold, only the 152mm BR-2 AP round cost gold.

Yes that 203mm AP is deadly, it has 260mm penetration and a single hit against a Maus will take off more than 70%

[Mayhem No.]

[Anomynous No.]

>>6757165
I keep 1 AP round in stock. I rarely spend 11 HE rounds in a match and the AP round has come in handy in a couple of direct fire situations. The only hitch is that with the long reload time you have to be able to predict a failing flank to use it. I have used it to take out IS-4s. Good times.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6757214
My friend who owns a school bus keeps 3 AP round and 13 HE.

I would hold 1 or 2 AP if I had room for more ammo, but with only 12 rounds I've done down to the last round a few times and I wouldn't want to be forced to use AP for last round when it could be a game changing shot. 203mm HE does plenty of damage anyway.

[Mayhem No.]

>>6757165
>a single hit against a Maus will take off more than 70%
>max damage: 1813
1813/3200*100 = ~56%
There's a small chance you'd penetrate a Maus from that far (penetration drops from distance) and make the max damages, and that wouldn't even drop 70% of its HP.

Well, damn. I may have to try the 212.

>>6757168
I know, those are in a class of their own. I'm talking about tanks that have a chance of being put into the game. Adam and the rail guns where the biggest and most powerful, but they are never going to see action in this game. Russia had up to 400mm artillery that was mounted on medium tank chassis. Germany had smaller calibers with higher velocity, Russia had larger rounds and lower velocity as far as cannons go.

Adam was a 600mm mortar on tracks, bigger caliber then anything russian, but you can't expect it to hit anything with a barrel the same size as the projectile.
No info can be found on the T8 russian and german SPGs, we just have to wait.

It is, actually. Sponsons are indeed a type of weapon mount, not the guards above the tracks. Those are nothing more than armored mudflaps that double as luggage racks on some tanks. Forgot what they are called, though.

Sponsons are not inherently weapon mounts, but they can be used as one.

They're not the covers to the tracks, however they are parts of the hull itself that stick out over the treads.

The M4 Sherman has sponsons, but there are no guns in them. See how the hull extends over the treads? Those areas would be considered sponsons.

It's a game.

I'm saying the Internals of the tiger are ridiculous compared to other tanks. Most tanks have each component as one or two small squares, this has multiple areas all over the place for the same component.

It's as if they started modeling for the game with the tiger.

They did as best they could to get the internals as realistic as possible, then when they finished they where like "wow that took way to fucking long, we can't waste this much time on detail". Thus the other tanks where given more simple internals.

Hell, even the engine component is modeled to look like an engine. 90% of tanks just have a big square for an engine. (except american tanks, they are circular)

Here's what I mean.

Do you really think the innards of an IS-4 are this simple?

Sure the T-34 is bad as well, but it's components are in neat squares in places you would expect. Have the same component broken up into 4 separate places.

On this topic.

The T57 and S-51 have invisible crewmen that are not in the tank, in order to hit them you have to literally miss the tank.

T57 crew is about 4 feet behind the tank
S-51 has 4 or 5 men on the top on the walkway.

Anyone have a T32? I'm piecing together a spreadsheet comparing T8 armor and the ability to bounce different rounds at different angles.

Seriously, I feel as though the 152mm M-10 is significantly more accurate than the 100mm D10T that the majority of the Soviet mediums and heavies can mount. I can't even see doing 500 meter shots with my IS-3's BL-9 122mm gun.

[Anomynous No.]

>>6763151
I've made hits at over 400m with the BL-9.

But at 1,025 a shell, firing at that distance without being completely stationary and zoomed in is like wasting credits.

[(☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞ BOOF ☜(ﾟヮﾟ☜) !AWEsomEEEE!!R/52MaMCG2y No.]

Here we are

Three T8 heavy tanks where lined up and shot in the same area of the armor with the same gun at the same distance and same angle. Multiple shots where done for more accurate results.

Head on testing-
Each tank was shot in the same area of the upper frontal armor three times at 100 meters and 300 meters.

Angled testing-
Two shots fired at the front armor sloped left at 45 degrees, two fired from armor slopped right at 45 degrees. One test at 100 meters and one at 300 meters.

Test gun-
122mm D-25T
175pen/390dmg average for AP rounds (AP used in testing)

100m results-
T32:
3 of 3 bounce head on
4 of 4 bounce at a 45 degree angle

IS-3
3 of 3 bounce head on
3 of 4 bounce at a 45 degree angle

KT
2 of 3 bounce head on
4 of 4 bounce at a 45 degree angle

300m results-
T32
2 of 3 bounce head on
3 of 4 bounce at a 45 degree angle

IS-3
2 of 3 bounce head on
1 of 4 bounce at a 45 degree angle (final shot killing it, shown in photo)

KT
2 of 3 shots bounce head on
2 of 4 bounce at a 45 degrees

These tests are to be considered as small scale, true results would need thousands of shots.

Depends on the gun itself, but everything besides arty is hit-scan based. The KV's 152mm ML-10 does have a notable trajectory drop, but the game automatically compensates for that.

>>6763369
The D-25 was used for a reason.

The BL-9 is a tier 9 gun, the D-25 is very close as far as penetration to both heavy tank cannons and medium cannons, it's a better choice for general testing.

The frontal armor of the tanks tested did not need the extra penetration.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6763425
100mm D10T has the same AP penetration as the 122mm D-25T and is used consistently more so than any of the 122mm models on the Soviet heavies and mediums. If you were just testing penetration, just should have used the D10T as then you can test more shots with it.

[(☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞ BOOF ☜(ﾟヮﾟ☜) !AWEsomEEEE!!R/52MaMCG2y No.]

An arty round hit me and killed ALL MY CREW.

With out a crew you are basically treated as a dead tank.

-You can't move, aim or shoot
-You can right click and spectate teammates
-You can't use kits (tried to revive my gunner with my first aid)
-You are shown as "Destroyed" in the scoreboard

It pretty much kills you, but instead of a charred corpse your tank can still be killed.

>>6763744
My guess was that longer range shots arc higher, meaning they are closer to perpendicular when hitting armor than point blank shots. However, that depends on how non-spg rounds are treated by the game.

Actually in a one versus one a VK4502 should always beat a IS-4. The early German tanks are superior snipers and the later German tanks are superior duelers. So in your described situation the two IS-4 will get wiped out easily.

The IS-4 is considered overpowered because of a multitude of things. For a few examples, the German sniping superiority is gone at tier 9 so no disadvantages there for Russians, the IS-4 has a lower profile making it harder to hit at range, and the IS-4 has amazing side armor compared to the Ausf B or hell, even the IS-7 making the "weak side armor" not so weak.

Also a few flaws in the Ausf B increases how good the IS-4 is in comparison. The rear turret is a massive disadvantage and you have to expose your weak side armor to get a shot, how big it is makes it a easier target for artillery, the engine is in the front so it's easier to damage and thus easier to set on fire, and the weak point on the frontal armor makes it easier to penetrate since IS-4's weak point was buffed.

I just started this game, got the B2 and the upgraded turret, gun and engine.

How does one scout properly? Out of the five or so matches I've been fragged in two shots immediately for most whether I stayed back or moved forwards, and was only successful in one where I managed to take down 4 other light tanks.

[OSad !YffGWo6BrM No.]

>>6765085
Scouting in this game translates basically to rushing the enemy base with your fastest moving tank from the sides or even head-on, hope you don't get one-shotted on the way, and spot a dozen enemy tanks leaving their base.

That's pretty much when you're done scouting. If you want to go for broke, try to take out the artillery. An even better bonus is getting out of there with some kills ALIVE.

People seem to prefer the Leopard for scouting because it's fucking fast. But yeah, "scouting" is pretty much "suicide-rushing" in this game.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6765085
Scouting in low tier games or games without artillery is pointless suicide.

Therefore, you move with the group and attack with the group.

If you find yourself in a high tier game/game with artillery/both, then you are a good scout by waiting for your artillery to be in position and then rush to the enemy lines.
Try to not get yourself tracked and keep moving, because they may fire slow, but if they hit you you will die.
If you can spot more than half of the enemy team and their artillery, you'll have done your job.
If your artillery kills theirs after you spotted them, you'll be a hero.
If you can kill one of them (by suicide ramming, for example) you'll be a legend.
If you can kill more than one, just come over to my house and fuck my sister.

>>6765105
This, but it isn't as bad as it sounds. Get a leopard, watch your allies for a second and see if a huge bundle of enemies is on a certain flank, go the other way and try to scout all the tanks, while looking for some arty to pop. This can yield as much as 3k experience, which you can convert to free exp. Exit game when you die, play another tank, rinse repeat.

You'll always damage the other tank as long as you're heavier than him. So say, you're in a Leopard and you try to ram a Maus, you'll just end blowing yourself up. So since you're still in the lower tiers, don't even bother with ramming. In fact, don't ever bother with ramming, ever. Apart from the comical relief, it's just pointless damage or suicide.

Unless you've got no choice, like you're out of shells or something. Then you HAVE to ram.

Even in high tiers ramming is just comical relief.

You're too slow to ram anything that can be damaged, but I'll be damned if I don't ram that IS-4 before I put a shell in his side. It doesn't do any damage but it might slightly damage our tracks sometimes.

Come to think of it the only thing I really rammed so far in my VK4502 were IS-4's. They are just about the only tank cocky enough to sit there while I'm going towards them at 30km/h. I've ran past JagdTigers to rubrub their side while killing them but that's it.

>>6765225
Load some APCR shells. I always carry five with me in my VK4502 for stuff such as facing an IS-7, Object 704, or Maus head on. I used to not even load HE but there has been a few cases where I bounced an AP on a JagdTiger who was under 10% so they are loaded especially for killing them stubborn tier 9 TD's who are really low.

APCR shells are pretty overpowered in my opinion.

SKIN MAKERS, GROUND BREAKING SKINNING METHOD FOUND ON SKINNING FORUM ON WOT.

Tutorial on how to make ANY tank in your garage look like ANY tank.
1. Go to World_of_Tanks_closed_Beta\res\vehicles\any nation\any tank\normal\lod0 and copy all the .model files
2. Go to World_of_Tanks_closed_Beta\res\vehicles\ANY NATION\ANY TANK\normal\lod0 and make a backup copy of all the .model files.
3. When you made the backup copy of the tank your going to make look like the other tank, delete the files in the tank you want to look like another tank, and replace with the files you copied.

TIP: Deleting them before pasting isnt a necessary feature, but in some things its a good idea so it doesn't fuck up the data and make it corrupted or accidentally merges them.

[KommanderNitori No.]

>>6765423

This reminds me a lot of the "dazzle" camo I was talking about on the mumble server a few days ago.

For those who weren't there, it was an interesting way of using a paint scheme to help avoid submarine attacks that they used in WWI. It wasn't really made to "hide" since a ship at sea is pretty damn obvious to visually pick out. (derp, what's the only thing sticking up out of the water as far as the eye can see?)

Instead, they painted it with a bunch of false edges and high-contrast "shapes" so that when looking through a periscope, it would be hard to determine what part of the ship and the angle you were viewing it from. Since the angle of attack was very important for guiding a torpedo, mistaking a ship to be on a different heading than it actually is = huge error in torpedo launch and a high probability of it hitting nothing.

I've also heard that it was designed to make it hard to use targeting "hash marks" on a periscope that were used to determine distance to target as well.

After a while, targeting systems got advanced enough to pretty much negate the advantage of using this, and it was abandoned. Still looks cool as hell, though.

Pic related, 2 examples of dazzle ship camo.

I was glad to help out with the science Boof did. Wish I could have played more last night but my router shat itself.

Also, DrSinn, I don't need that M6 skin anymore. Don't bother making it. Unless you want to. It's a pretty badass idea.

IS-4 is slightly better overall, but if a VK4502 goes up against an IS-4 the VK will win. IS-4 isn't one to duel high tier tanks, it's made so it is hard to penetrate from every side from low/mid.

T-54 is the most broken tank in the game currently

IS-7 is the better overall, but the Maus wins in duels, artillery punishment taken, and best armor.

S-51 > Object 212 in terms of what you get for how much. So no comment.

I'll agree with the 704 with no counters.

The German tanks specialize while Russian tanks have better overall abilities. You could say Germans are the Kings of dueling, while the Russians are jack of all trades.

But if it was a frontal attack, and it sets their engine, which is in the back, going all the way through the sloped Nintendium where it's thickest...

anything can burn in a tank. the crew, the greasy oil used for turret bearings - the list goes on. the game just happens to show the engine burning in all cases.

It's not like there's anything they can do. They can't move out of the way fast enough, they can't turn to fire at the attacker fast enough, and a miss is a death sentence.

If anything, it's the defenders' fault.

Oh it is, but it's hilarious, since I had 3 kills from ramming in my Brand-spankin' new A-20 in one game, all arty.

The Hetzer shooting at me in fact hit one of them, hilarious, there are no words to describe my love for this tank.

The inside of a tank is hollow and any dividers between the crew and the engine compartment are going to be paper-thin. If a shell penetrates the front armor it can get to the engine just as easily as if it punched through the back.

On a related note this is a Challenger after being hit by a wire-guided atgm. I want to see this in WoT. I want 7-foot jets of flame. This is what ammo racking should do.

I was given prototypes of the Honeywell 120mm sabot rounds years ago. Strings where pulled, now I have a small stockpile of US prototype projectiles designed by Honeywell in a box in my basement.

Thought it would be interesting enough for the thread.

M829 Projectile "Silver bullet" used by the M1A1 Abrams.

This is an early specialized model of the M829 designed for testing. It is made of steel and equipped with fins to slow it in flight.

The real one is:
-Made of depleted uranium
-540mm penetration of rolled homogeneous armor (RHA) at 0 degrees from 2000 meters, 630 mm RHA at 60 degrees.

if we ever get attacked by aliens let's all go to BOOF's house

[(☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞ BOOF ☜(ﾟヮﾟ☜) !AWEsomEEEE!!R/52MaMCG2y No.]

And here's one that hit a telephone pole at 3000 meters.

The round missed the initial target and was found sticking in the pole nearly 1000 meters away. The pole was cut down and turned into a trophy.

The heat from the impact made the steel soft enough to bend at the tip.

Three T-54's in a platoon ran into the enemy base.

They got 7 kills and capped, only lost one.

I guess you could say they where russian the base
